The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith

by Gabrielle Bernstein

Through my commitment to my personal growth and my spiritual path, happiness and freedom did set in. My outside world began to reflect my positive internal condition, and life began to flow beautifully. And

From 2008 until the beginning of 2013, I worked on my personal growth and my spiritual path. though from 1995, my sophomore year of high school, until I got to los angeles in 2006, I’d been drugged and made unhealthy by doctors, I’d worked towards being healthy despite the harm they caused from when they first started drugging me up claiming that would help the depression. The depression was caused by my being kept from the work I wanted to do by teachers who didn’t encourage me in my honors classes. But once I began working towards my career without having to deal with being drugged like that so badly things were great and I could start the other work towards my spiritual amd emotional health. I was so happy by 2013 at all the hard work I’d done amd how successful I’d been.

Being in union with the energy of the Universe is like an awesome dance where you trust your partner so much that you just surrender to the beat of the music.

When you begin to dance with the energy of the Universe, your

life flows naturally, incredible synchronicity presents itself, creative solutions abound, ...

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace! That where there is hatred, I may bring love. That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness. That where there is discord, I may bring harmony. That where there is error, I may bring truth. That where there is doubt, I may bring faith. That where there is despair, I may bring hope. That where there are shadows, I may bring light. That where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted. To understand, than to be understood.

To love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

I said out loud to myself, “Thank you, Universe, for helping me heal this. I forgive this thought, and I choose to see love instead.” Then I went on with my day.

Taking responsibility for the world we’ve created can seem scary. But remember, you can choose how you want to perceive every situation in your life, including your healing process. Let’s

The shift in perception enables us to understand that the world outside is a projection of the world we created in our mind; that the problem is not outside, but within. We’re reminded that there’s a loving spiritual presence that can restore us to sanity. That’s the Holy Instant. And when we witness the Holy Instance, we experience a miracle.

His commitment to get sober sent a message to the Universe that he was willing to play big in this lifetime and restore his faith in love. I explained that he’d unconsciously asked for greater healing and the Universe provided it—in

There is nothing sexier than your authentic truth.

Your energy is your greatest source of power. When you vibrate a high-vibe, loving energy, you will receive high-vibe, loving energy reflected back to you. Conversely when you put out low-level energy, you’ll receive low-level energy and experiences in return. Therefore, your power lies in your ability to change your energy at any time to increase the likelihood of being the recipient of high-vibe, loving energy.

The monks practiced meditation in the community, and, over time, the crime rate dropped by an astounding 16 percent. This phenomenon—the power of meditative joyful energy to shift the energy of the collective conscious—is called the Maharishi Effect. The reason the Maharishi Effect works is because the meditating group’s alpha brain waves are functioning at a powerful level, able to permeate the atmosphere to reach people in the same geographical region to have a positive effect on their hearts, minds, and actions.

Through prayer, meditation, positive intentions, and joy, we can enliven that field and create a ripple effect of peace in the world. If you make joy your priority and tune in to this joy daily through your meditation, not only will you feel deeply connected.

You have the power to be a spiritual activist. Through your positive energy you can bring forth great healing to everyone around you. The energy we put out is either polluting the planet or healing it. Which do you choose?

By meditating and activating your alpha brain waves, you send loving vibrations to the world, dissipating that separation to co-create joy and peace with the power of Universe behind you.

Understand the power of joy. Remember that joy is the catalyst for all that is good in the world.

Stay committed to joy no matter what.

Your honesty is what opens the door for you to remember and accept your hidden power.

Getting into a relationship with the Universe takes time, commitment, and conviction.

I used my creative visualizations and meditation to help me feel the feelings of romance that I longed for. Then I took those emotions with me. Throughout the day, no matter where I was, I’d conjure up the feelings that I felt on my meditation pillow. The feelings of desire, love, romance, and excitement.

This was a very creative practice. I became a super-attractor. After a week of walking around feeling these feelings, I was being asked on lots of dates, guys started calling me out of the blue, and I noticed men checking me out on the street. I was putting out the superattractive energy of love and romance.

If you walk around feeling defeated, doubtful, and sad, the Universe can’t supply you with high-vibe positivity. When you walk through life conjuring up the feelings that you want to feel, the manifestation process begins, and your desires are reflected back to you.

Over time your visions will easily manifest into your reality and you’ll truly know what it means to paint the portrait of your life. You’ll see clearly how what you create is a direct reflection of your certainty and faith in the Universe. Most

You surrender into the Universe’s plan and release your own. Remember that the Universe doesn’t respond to manipulation—the Universe responds to love.

I still believe this. I keep a list of things that were joyful during each day and yesterday I thought, my love didn’t kill all those people, it was people who hate me or just hate.

Course in Miracles says, “I lose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own reality instead.” When you lean on certainty and faith, you change your mind about the world you see. Your faith has the power to turn trauma into healing, conflict into great growth, and fear into love. Deepen your connection to the Universe one meditation, prayer, and positive desire at a time. Let your faith be your guide as you release the perception of the world you thought you knew and embrace true freedom and peace.

When you tap into the loving frequency of the Universe, you learn to live beyond the limitations of the world and accept good, orderly direction. You surrender your obsession with logic and embrace intuitive direction. You become aware of the great support within you and around you.

It’s important to celebrate these miracles by saying thank you to the Universe. Thanking the Universe reinforces your faith and trust that you’re in sync with a power greater than yourself.

It didn’t even faze me because I was still in a high-vibe zone from all the meditating and spiritual lessons I’d practiced that week.

To use the power God has given you as he would have used it is natural. It is not arrogant to be as he created you, but it is arrogant to lay aside the power he gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what he wills.

When you lead your life with grace and love, you begin to feel a swell of energy move through you. You’re given words when you don’t have them. You’re given strength when you are down. You’re given synchronicity and support when you feel lost. You’re given safety when you’re uncertain.

All you have to do is choose love, spread light, and know that the Universe has your back.
